Facing the aftermath of Prince Andrew's association with Jeffrey Epstein, King Charles is allegedly considering assigning a low-profile, menial role to his younger brother to shield him from ongoing embarrassment.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams, in a conversation with Daily Express US, speculated that King Charles might opt for a managerial position for Prince Andrew, distancing him from the public eye.
"Prince Andrew remains in limbo, having lost all his patronages and his status as a working member of the Royal Family due to his troubling association with the deceased Jeffrey Epstein and convicted s-x trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell," Fitzwilliams noted.
Fitzwilliams suggested a shift for the Duke of York into a managerial role, deviating from his previous public service responsibilities. He highlighted the potential impact of newly released documents and upcoming television programs on Prince Andrew, referring to them as further sources of attention.
Considering Prince Andrew's lack of popularity, Fitzwilliams deemed a return to public service unlikely. Instead, he proposed a role involving the management of royal estates as a sensible option. The commentator argued that any public appearance by Prince Andrew, even on solemn occasions, tends to attract significant media attention, thereby causing embarrassment to the Royal Family.
In this scenario, Fitzwilliams emphasized the necessity of King Charles carefully selecting a role that minimizes Prince Andrew's public exposure, acknowledging the challenges posed by his presence in royal events.
